UPDATE S24 Ultra 4 hours SOT battery drain April 2026

Gabrocol — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 14:13:24 GMT

Hello this post is not a duplicate, this is an update from yesterday's post. Please read the entire post before replying

In yesterday's post many people requested I post my phones app usage from April 20th so here you go.

As stated before I have already done the following battery saving techniques:

1) I am using adaptive battery and have waited the proper time for the battery to "optimize"

2) I have light power usage on and have downloaded and am using Good Guardians to "optimize the battery"

3) I have limited any apps using too much power

4) I have ran diagnostics

5) any other battery saving techniques I did not mention, I have already done these

S24 Ultra Battery Drain

Battery has been losing charge so quick. Before and after the update. I've ran diagnostics and checked the battery drain in the settings. It seems normal but I'm charging my phone at night and in the afternoon. Has Sumsung flipped the switch so our batteries only hold half a charge?

Which update are you referring to?

Knox matrix night be part of the issue as it's high on my app list in battery. Seems like it might be pretty widespread. April 5 security patch is the update we're talking about (or at least I am).

S24+ and today has been interesting. Going on 40% drain in 2 hours. Woke up and phone was hot and not holding a charge.
